@WLodge_39 Very hard to tell. If you’re Stevenage and that’s not given, then you’re going to be pissed off too. If only there was some sort of ‘goal line technology’ they could use to say one way or another…

If I’m a Luton fan and miss out on the play offs because of this, my head would be on Mars. How the fuck have they given that as a goal?

@TheConnorCain This has been one of the best championships I can remember for a long time. Some incredible matches. Would love to see Wu go on and win it now. Mark Allen in his post match interview was utter class 👏👏

I’m not sure how Mark Allen will ever get this black out of his head A routine shot for your first ever World Championship final

If you vote Reform, Starmer will still be PM, you’ll just be stuck with reform ruining your local council

@JimmyEnough @Sherelle_E_J Wakefield.

@andyl_77 @Sherelle_E_J OK Andy! Which rural beautiful untouched location are you lecturing us from?

I’ve been in Sunderland today ahead of local elections. To say Labour is facing an absolute bloodbath in a city that has been Red since 1974 doesn’t do it justice. The local elections are just the start; Bridget Phillipson will lose Houghton and Sunderland South. But it’s not rage that I picked up on. More an ice-cold disdain. And a resolve that felt almost eerie. After decades of being taken for granted, voters aren’t after revenge. They seek liquidation. While the Mandelson saga hasn’t particularly cut through, Starmer’s name is mud. Words I heard today: “arrogant”, “fake”, “snake”, “a total gobshite”. An extinction-level event is brewing in the North East.

@in_watcher @Sherelle_E_J Thanks for introducing yourself. Was there something you wanted to say?

@andyl_77 @Sherelle_E_J Thick cunt 🙄

@jcwf1 @Sherelle_E_J I didn’t say it was.

@andyl_77 @Sherelle_E_J That is no reason to vote Labour

@wcharlton7 @Sherelle_E_J You’re probably right. I’m just interested in why people think Farage and a party full of ex Tories is going to be any better.

@andyl_77 @Sherelle_E_J It has little to do with Reform. It’s about Labour been taken over by Islington liberal ideas and a conceit for their historical heartlands. They are finished

@bwfc_leon09 Barring a miracle, you’ve qualified for the playoffs anyway. I think the sensible thing for Bolton to do is rest all your best players…👍

would both fans take a draw today? I think it’s a must not lose from a bolton perspective but obviously a win would be much better #bwfc #bcafc

Our media fixation with Keir Starmer is becoming a literal drag on the country now. As I write this, I can already see the replies forming below, accusing me of being a Labour shill etc. but, believe it or not, I am not. Maybe it's worth setting this out — I have no party affiliation. None. I'm not 'on the right' … but that's as far as it goes. There are policies and people that I admire across the Lib Dems, Greens and Labour. Conversely, there are policies and people I am vehemently against within each of those parties as well. There are some decent Conservatives left but fewer and fewer in frontline politics and I can have excellent discussions with those moderate Tories that remain. Where my line in the sand is drawn though, as I'm sure you're all aware, is the far-right. Reform UK and Restore Britain. I have no common ground with their populism — I see through the propaganda. This doesn't mean that I think every member of Reform UK is a bad person, far from it, but I cannot rationalise their top-line bravado into credible politics. So, with all that being said, I think the witch-hunt of Keir Starmer is distracting the public from some far more serious crises. Since the very day Starmer took office, there has been an onslaught from the media; desperation to try and topple him and his principal team. This played out successfully with Angela Rayner, and they have been vicious and relentless pursuing Rachel Reeves. I listened to Paul Brand on LBC at the weekend continuously comparing Starmer to Boris Johnson in terms of sleaze. Have we collectively lost our minds? There is no other Prime Minister in history that compares to Johnson for scandal. The elephant in the room — Peter Mandelson. But is it really an elephant still? Clearly, Starmer should never have brought the Prince of Darkness into his team, that was a madness and severe failing of judgement. One for which he has accepted responsibility and apologised on multiple occasions. The vetting process appears to be, pretty much, a non-story, despite what Dan Hodges and GB News are shovelling out. So … we should be moving on. Shouldn't we? Kemi Badenoch and her famously robust judgement felt not yesterday, and spent more of her diminishing political currency by pushing Starmer with six questions at PMQs on the subject. She was met with a well briefed lawyer, that, in all honesty, made her look a bit silly for continuing her defeated line of questioning. While this continues to dominate the headlines, other far more crucial issues are being missed — we're going to run low on fuel soon, the cost of living is about to skyrocket, holidays will be cancelled imminently. But mainly ... the cost of living is about to skyrocket. We saw in yesterday's inflation rise that food is already moving upward, if Trump's ludicrous war in Iran continues, then we're all going to suffer the consequences. Surely, this is a far more pressing matter? One in which the government should be fully engaged in order to help protect the public — it's number one duty. It is very telling that Reform UK are spending very little time on the Starmer issue. They sent Lee Anderson out to raise this issue, for goodness’ sake. LEE ANDERSON. Farage is hyper focused on the local elections, safe in the knowledge that the media is obsessing over Keir Starmer, once again. He's making hay while the S*n shines on Labour. Jeez! This went on a bit, sorry, but it feels critical to me. We are being led around by the nose by the legacy media outlets. They smell blood in the water, but I really don't think the story is there. Not yet. And while the sharks circle, Reform UK are flying under the radar, ready to swoop on the local elections [sorry for the weird mixed metaphors — it's early!]. Have a lovely sunny day. 🌞

For god's sake get off this tedious, mind-numbing topic of Peter Mandelson. Nobody outside Westminster & Fleet Street - including the BBC - cares a jot about this subject. They care about the cost of living, about the NHS and about the #IranWar‌. @BBCNews #PoliticsLive #PMQs

@MaccaSouth We (Bradford) would also have to lose to Exeter as well, of course (our away form is awful)…and Luton would have to drop points (quite likely as they have Bolton last game). It’s not inconceivable Plymouth could pip us on goal difference and nab the final spot. Worth a flutter.

Yeah Stevenage winning isn’t ideal, but this pulls Bradford down into the mix with us, they’ve got Bolton on Saturday, if they were to lose that and we win both remaining, we’re in. It’d be nicer to have 2 chances of slip ups instead of 1! Gotta hold on! #pafc

@BantamsPride 2

How many points do you think we will get from these 3 games? #BCAFC

@BCAFCBH @BCAFC_Latam @bantamsarg @LeagueOne25 @BarnsleyFC @67_balti @OakwellStadium Tuesday night is suddenly looking like a ‘massive’ game. With Stockport and Stevenage having very winnable home ties that night, if we were to lose…it couldn’t, could it?

Barnsley 2-2 Bradford City Oakwell- Att: 14,936 (5,141 away) Where do you begin with that? Took us falling behind to 10 men to start playing then still manage to blow it with the last kick of the game. Just like last year relying on others stalling to get over the line. #bcafc

@Indie5051 All a matter of taste, but I’d have The Smiths at number 3 (the sheer number of brilliant songs they released in only 4 years will probably never be surpassed). Can’t argue with The Beatles and the Stones at 1 and 2.

@Glinner Struggling to understand your point here. You seem to be acknowledging yourself that Trump has achieved sweet FA?!

He took out several levels of Iranian leadership. He's made it a tiny bit easier for the Iranian people to overthrow a fucking game of thrones regime that hangs women for the crime of being raped. God, how I hate this self-satisfied copypasta posing as commentary.

@ZoltanW77666 @anon_opin Rolling Stones the ‘odd good song’. Now there’s rage bait 😂😂

@anon_opin Phonics Manics Coldplay Foos RHCP Muse Radiohead Charlatans Rolling Stones Ian Brown Metalica Queen Weller OCS All have the odd good song but mostly shite.

There's no ongoing success story more baffling than that of the Sterophonics. Thirty pedestrian years of the same plodding numbers, sung in the same plodding whine by the same plodding fucking potato. Name a worse act with this long of a career. You cannot.

@ZackPolanski Cause them what? If you’re running to be PM, perhaps learn how to construct a sentence.

If there's one thing that will be guaranteed to cause people who protect the wealth and power of the super rich - it's people having a great time. I present to you Trafalgar Square today which was beautiful and alive and buzzing with just that. 💚😍

@ronportnoir @TheExtremeMusi1 Nah. Paint a vulgar picture is a quality track!

@TheExtremeMusi1 No, at least one clunker on it, ‘paint a vulgar picture’

This is a 10/10 album. Agree or disagree???

@avalleybantam @harry_mjames I’m also old enough to remember when we used to come out to the A-Team and Run DMC’s/Aerosmith’s ‘Walk this way’. Actually, that was a freaking cool combo! Bring it back 😂!!

@andyl_77 @harry_mjames I mean Simply the Best is another Rangers song as well. Its bad enough listening to the awful other one 😂. We used to come out to the A team theme years ago....🫠

Please can we get a new walkout song. Love take me home but should be added into the playlist before the match with hey Jude and penny arcade. it just dosnt get you up for the game Any suggestions anyone ? #bcafc
